Each week we share simple, family-friendly recipes to help busy households put dinner on the table with less fuss. Welcome to Hey Momma! What’s For Supper? #92, a fresh round of easy ideas to keep meals satisfying and stress-free.
Hey Momma! What’s For Supper? #92
Hey Momma! What’s For Supper? #92This week I’m hoping our A/C gets replaced so I can return to my normal cooking routine. With the summer heat in full swing, I looked for recipes that are both cooling and satisfying—meals that are doable even when it’s hot outside and the family wants lighter fare.
To start the week, I’ll make our family favorite Slow Cooker Chicken Carnitas and double the recipe so we have plenty for lunches. Slow cooker meals are a lifesaver in warm weather: they keep the kitchen cooler while delivering big flavor with minimal hands-on time.
Another comfort on the menu is my son’s second-favorite: a slow, creamy corn and potato chowder. This version is rich and comforting, yet mild and easy to customize. We’ll serve it with crusty bread or a simple green salad for a satisfying weeknight meal.
Later in the week we’ll enjoy Turkey Bacon BLT sandwiches, paired with lots of fresh fruit and vegetable crudités—peaches, strawberries, and crisp veggie sticks make simple sides that keep meals bright and fresh.
Summer in Southern California will be warm, but I’m confident the slow cooker and a few cool side dishes will help us stay comfortable and well-fed.

We also recently added a new recipe to the blog that I hope to try if the A/C is repaired: Southern Fried Chicken Tenders. They’re seasoned with a blend of tasty spices and make a fantastic topping for salads or a kid-friendly main course. They’re crisp, flavorful, and easy to prepare when you want something special without a lot of fuss.

This week’s plan is intentionally short and flexible because of the heat and a busy schedule. If you’d like more ideas, explore our collection of menu plans for plenty of inspiration—there are hundreds of weekly menus to browse, and this is #92 in the Hey Momma! series.
Alongside menu planning, I’m busy designing table décor for a baby sprinkle with a bohemian theme inspired by the book Where the Wild Things Are. I’ll try to share photos on Instagram as the design comes together.
